That isn't so. If I just look up a random explosion I get https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Beirut_explosion which is more damage than most serious nuclear accidents. 218 deaths, 7,000 injuries, 300,000 homeless. That is pretty bad.
And, again, your logic would involve people looking at the industrial revolution and deciding against it.
You might object that the financial damage is due to unwarranted concerns by the public. Even if that were the case, they would be legally actionable.
